Allstate interview questions

I received a phone call from an recruiter and was asked a couple of behavioral questions. I was sent an online test that had questions about customer service and my background. I passed the test and an interview was scheduled the following week. I was interviewed in a room with three people and I was asked a series of behavioral questions. All three interviewers wrote down my questions on pieces of paper. I was told about the job description and benefits. I was not allowed to ask questions about the job from management but instead I was asked to sit with one of their employees.I sat with one of their employees for 15 minutes and she described the job to me. The employee did not have alot of examples of her work. After the 15 minutes I spent with the employee I was escorted out. I received a rejection e-mail stating that the position had been closed. Two weeks after I received a rejection letter, a new ad was place on a job board for the same postion with the only requirement changed to "Spanish Speaking Desirable." Apparently this employer wants you to speak "Spanish" if you live in Los Angeles.

I applied through Experience.com 's Selective Liberal Arts Consortium's (SLAC) Chicago interview day. SLAC interviews are held in 3 or 4 other big cities in December. Students from the 8 or so colleges that are part of SLAC applied for interviews with multiple employers in multiple locations if they chose. Applications were due in October. Most employers responded quickly, but some took longer to let you know whether or not you got the interview. I interviewed for my first round face to face in December, and they emailed me in early January to let me know that I didn't get a second round interview. It was a a pretty basic behavioral interview, I just wasn't prepared enough. I recommend people pick up "Job Interviews for Dummies" or a similar guide book. A lot of people are bad at interviewing, but there are good ways to make sure you perform well. I think I would have gotten a second round if I had been more prepared.
